00:00:00.000 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you,
00:00:03.440 in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels.
00:00:08.280 I'm your host, David Menzies. In the name of climate change, the Dutch government has declared
00:00:14.700 war on its own farmers. And guess what? The farmers and their supporters, well,
00:00:20.400 they are fighting back. Louis Brackpull joins me for the latest news from the Netherlands.
00:00:26.400 And the other day, Alexa Lavoie bumped into Justin Trudeau at an Outremont restaurant.
00:00:33.680 Alexa had plenty of questions to ask, but suddenly it looked like the cat caught the PM's tongue.
00:00:41.700 Alexa will join me with all the nitty gritty and letters. We get your letters. We get your
00:00:46.900 letters every minute of every day. And I'll share some of your hilarious responses regarding our new
00:00:52.800 Justin Trudeau slash Fidel Castro t-shirt, which is flying off the shelves these days, by the way.
00:01:00.220 Those are your rebels. Now let's round them up.
00:01:12.080 This is Louis Brackpull for Rebel News. And today I'm in an undisclosed location about to follow
00:01:18.520 farmers and their supporters to the German border, where they plan to block the border between the
00:01:26.140 Netherlands and Germany. Now, people have started to turn up now, waving the Netherlands flag upside down.
00:01:33.740 As we know, it's a call to distress or if their country is in a kind of crisis, they would fly that
00:01:41.140 upside down. They also have the red bandanas, which show the support for the farmers. And there is a few
00:01:47.580 people turned up already early and ready to hit the road to the German borders. I'm going to be
00:01:54.120 going around and asking people, why are they here? And why is this protest so important?
00:01:58.940 It's the WEF that wants to have a whole world reset. And we are the first one to pick out.
00:02:08.020 Do you think a lot of farmers know about the World Economic Forum and the Great Reset?
00:02:12.520 Yes, I know for sure, because they already know that all the rules are bulls*****.
00:02:19.060 Because I have a small child and I want her to know that it's the farmers that get the food
00:02:24.160 on the table. And the government is just wrong for doing this. I think Europe is going to go down.
00:02:32.040 Yeah. Yes. And the civil war is going to start.
00:02:46.580 So we're currently sandwiched in a convoy of supporters for the farmers, where they're making
00:02:52.200 their way to the German border on the A37 with plans to, I believe, block the border.
00:03:08.280 Now, you're probably wondering, how am I standing in the middle of a highway on the A37?
00:03:15.400 Let's take a look. Dutch farmer supporters have blocked it.
00:03:26.680 How do you feel, how do you think the Dutch government has treated the farmers?
00:03:31.160 No, not good. Not good. It should be different. Something needs to change?
00:03:38.920 Yes, yes. I think the farmers have to have more rice.
00:03:45.160 They have to have more rice. Yeah, they have to have more rice.
00:03:47.320 So why are you here today specifically? We just want to go home.
00:03:51.080 Yeah, we're stuck here. Yeah, by accident.
00:03:53.640 Yeah, by accident. We didn't know that this was going to happen.
00:03:56.120 No, we didn't know. We're from a little party. But we understand. We understand.
00:04:02.520 If the police turn up to this blockade, what will happen? What is your next move?
00:04:10.600 It's what the police do. If they are, how do you say it, nice to us, we will talk with them.
00:04:17.720 But if they are going to fight with us, maybe we fight back. It's on to the police. If they want to
00:04:22.200 talk with us, then we talk and maybe we can go or somewhere else. But most time it's the police
00:04:28.920 that go fight first. I guess it's safe to say then that tensions are very high in the Netherlands
00:04:34.440 right now. Yes.
00:04:40.440 I think they're going to say that we can stay here for a little bit, but he says it's dangerous
00:04:45.400 behind the back of the queue. Yes, because they're coming in with 110 speed, so it's dangerous.
00:04:54.760 And we said, yeah, then you have to put someone there with sirens on so they can see it.
00:04:59.240 Anything happens next then? I don't know if we have to leave. I think we're going to leave
00:05:04.120 because we don't want to fight. We're just in peace with them and they're in peace with us. So it's okay.
00:05:08.840 There are good cops and there are bad cops and that's always, but they can always, maybe these
00:05:14.120 are the good cops and they, sometimes you have bad cops. It's like how they come to us. If they
00:05:19.240 come to us like this, then it's not good. Well, there you have it, folks. The Dutch government
00:05:24.120 might be fine with declaring war on its farmers, but the farmers are not fine with this and neither
00:05:31.000 are their supporters. After all, everyone has a skin in the game in that we all need to eat, right?
00:05:39.400 And joining me now from Holland is our UK correspondent and that would be Lewis Brackpull.
00:05:44.520 How are you doing there, Lewis? How are you back in Canada? Oh, I'm doing great. It looks like
00:05:51.880 you're right in front of a beautiful postcard setting. So I wish I was there with you. Now,
00:05:58.040 Lewis, I got to tell you, you and Lincoln Jay, you've been doing a great job covering this
00:06:02.840 farmers rebellion, but can you rewind the tape a bit and take us back a couple of weeks?
00:06:08.440 What was the basis for the farmers rebelling against their government in the first place?
00:06:15.960 Yeah, thanks for having me, mate. And it's good to see you. So the Dutch government are looking to
00:06:21.960 impose radical green policies against the Dutch farmers to reduce nitrogen emissions. And in
00:06:30.360 some cases and in some particular farms, up to 95%, which, as we know, is basically impossible. And to do
00:06:38.520 this, they want to forcefully take around 30 to 50% of farmlands within the Netherlands. So that means
00:06:48.520 they can, well, basically do whatever they want with it, really. They can build on top, they can do
00:06:53.640 whatever. On top of this, under the guise of reducing nitrogen emissions, they want to cut
00:07:00.120 livestock as well. So which means cattle and food, essentially. So the farmers who have been,
00:07:07.960 many of them have been utilising their farms for generations now, have decided, you know,
00:07:15.240 enough is enough. We've been protesting these radical policies that have been creeping through
00:07:21.080 ever so suddenly since 2019, where they started mobilising around the Netherlands. But now it's
00:07:27.400 accelerated so dramatically, they thought, you know what, enough's enough. We're going to go out
00:07:33.560 and we're going to make our voices heard because the government aren't doing their due diligence for
00:07:39.240 the people. And Lewis, the government, who exactly are they trying to appease with these crackpot
00:07:47.160 policies? I mean, like I said earlier, we all depend on food. These are farmers, I imagine, with costs
00:07:54.760 rising on a monthly basis, are having enough of a tough time. But it seems that with the environmental
00:08:01.000 zealots these days, nitrogen is the new N-word, if you will. But why is this government seemingly
00:08:09.400 bending the knee to the Greta Thunberg demographic as opposed to trying to, you know,
00:08:16.280 have an environment for their farmers where they can make a living and feed the people?
00:08:22.440 Well, to be honest with you, Mark Roots, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, is a World Economic
00:08:29.240 Forum puppet. He is spouting every single World Economic Forum playbook under the sun.
00:08:37.560 And he's so open with it. He's spoken about Agenda 2030 and sustainable development on the Netherlands,
00:08:44.840 where they want to, of course, cut things such as petrol out of everything.
00:08:50.920 So they say a similar thing that's been happening around the world. And he's repeating mantras from
00:08:58.440 the WEF, such as Build Back Better and Agenda 2030. So it's quite clear to see who really is pulling
00:09:06.920 the strings on the policies. And it is, of course, the World Economic Forum up to their no good once
00:09:13.320 again. And it's all for everyone to see. Unbelievable. And you know, Lewis, when we look
00:09:19.320 at those buzzwords, Build Back Better, well, that's a fallacy. All these policies are making
00:09:25.080 our lives more miserable and more expensive. The so-called new normal. It's actually abnormal
00:09:31.640 if you believe in progress and exceptionalism. So again, you know, it's a false narrative as far
00:09:39.240 as I'm concerned. It seems to be about virtue signaling and woke-ism. And I guess the ultimate
00:09:46.200 question is, if you, you know, if there was a, um, a plebiscite or a poll, uh, in the Netherlands
00:09:53.000 right now, how many people, how many normal citizens are on board with this environmental
00:09:59.720 madness in the first place? It's a great question. I think a poll came out recently and obviously we
00:10:06.280 know that polls are very inaccurate. So take them with a pinch of salt, but a poll that I did read,
00:10:11.800 uh, said suggested that 80% of the public actually supports the farmers and what we've been seeing on
00:10:19.960 the ground, uh, covering this. There has been overwhelming support for the farmers, not just
00:10:25.320 domestically, but internationally. So that's definitely something to, uh, to keep in mind.
00:10:30.440 We have seen, of course, some people that are against the farmers, which is, if I'm, if I'm to give
00:10:37.640 my opinion is absolute madness because they are the ones that feed the city people for crying out loud.
00:10:44.360 Um, so you've got these climate zealots in the city that are saying, yeah, sure. Farmers should
00:10:51.480 just give up their lands for the, for the climate agenda. And it's, it's almost a shock when you hear
00:10:58.120 things like that. This, there's this massive divide, uh, between, uh, a lot of the city people
00:11:03.560 and the rural areas. And we see that everywhere. Um, but this divide, when we've spoken to people,
00:11:10.200 maybe we've picked some really good people to chat to, but there has been the odd one that's, uh,
00:11:16.440 that has been quite, uh, well, that bit of a climate fanatic to put it so, uh, bluntly.
00:11:23.800 It's amazing. Cause whether or not you're a climate fanatic, we all share something in common. We have to
00:11:29.240 eat. And by eating, I mean, you know, beef, chicken, pork, not insects as some of these, uh,
00:11:37.320 world economic form people preach to us, you know, uh, Lewis, the, when this began,
00:11:43.720 the images were startling. You, you saw massive farm equipment blocking highway. You saw the
00:11:49.960 spraying of liquid manure, uh, at government offices and so on. Where is this all heading? I mean,
00:11:57.000 obviously the farmers for their very livelihood want the government to reverse its stance on nitrogen and
00:12:05.240 other policies. Do you see them being successful or, uh, is the government in for, uh, a long haul fight
00:12:12.840 on this? It's a, it's a very, very good question because, um, from what we're hearing on the ground,
00:12:21.720 David, uh, they're very, very unhappy and a lot. I always ask the same question to every,
00:12:29.640 to every farmer and every supporter. I say, if the demands are not met from the farmers,
00:12:34.440 what do you think will happen? And the same answer comes every time. And that's a civil war.
00:12:41.640 Now, in my personal opinion, that's a very scary thing to hear. Um, because of course,
00:12:48.040 naturally people do not want that. And I know that people do not want that. And it's scary to hear that
00:12:56.680 when you have this huge overreach from the government and, um, it's, I can't quite explain
00:13:05.000 it if I'm totally honest. Uh, this is, this is just a completely raw for myself, but it's, it's scary
00:13:12.360 and they are scared. They're anxious that their livelihoods, and it's not just an occupation. It's,
00:13:18.360 it's something that's passed down from generations. This, this isn't just a job or working in a shop.
00:13:26.200 You know, this is, you're feeding the nation. You're feeding Europe in the Netherlands case,
00:13:31.800 because they are a very large exporter in food and supply chains. So this isn't a local issue.
00:13:38.920 This is an international issue. So yeah, this, they are, they are very worried that if their demands
00:13:45.400 aren't met, that things will escalate and badly. And one last question, Lewis, you said this is an
00:13:52.680 international issue. And I want to, uh, you know, focus in on that statement because a lot of people
00:13:57.400 might say, Oh, the Netherlands, I, I wouldn't be able to find the Netherlands on a map for goodness
00:14:01.880 sakes. That's way over across the pond. My response, and I believe you interviewed farmers
00:14:07.480 there, uh, Lewis saying the same thing is that right now it's the Netherlands in the near future.
00:14:14.280 It might be coming to the country you reside in, ie. And, and by the way, when it comes to Canada,
00:14:19.880 I can totally see the Justin Trudeau liberals getting on board the anti nitrogen, uh, brigade
00:14:26.520 and your farmers will suffer and your people will suffer from increased food prices and even scarcity
00:14:34.520 of food items. Last word goes to you, my friend. Okay. So we're seeing similar patterns
00:14:41.960 everywhere, uh, in other countries, for example, Britain, uh, the government are actually handing
00:14:47.400 out almost, uh, payments to farmers to stop farming in the height of, uh, well, a cost of lockdown crisis,
00:14:55.320 uh, where inflation is at its highest and it's just absolute madness what, what they're doing.
00:15:00.920 So that's my country. They want to wean off farmers from actually farming and pay them to stop.
00:15:06.360 I tried speaking out to the farmers union. I got nothing back. Strange. Um, Canada,
00:15:11.880 they've obviously signed a new treaty with the Netherlands. That's a, that's a big impact where
00:15:17.720 it basically gives more power to the multinationals. So you're seeing this overarch in all the countries
00:15:24.200 now. Uh, and especially with Canada, I'm pretty concerned if I'm totally honest of where we're
00:15:32.920 heading. And this is all part of the great reset. This is part of the agenda 2030 that we keep hearing
00:15:40.280 about. And I think more and more people need to start, start questioning things a bit more. I mean,
00:15:46.600 we were always told that things such as the great reset and agenda 2030 and the sustainable
00:15:51.240 developments is some sort of conspiracy theory. These, these practices are accelerating rapidly
00:15:59.000 now. And this is all being said by the world economic forum. This is not something that we
00:16:04.600 are saying as reporters or journalists and plucking it out of thin air. This is coming from them.
00:16:09.400 And people need to start realizing that until, until something horrible happens, like what the farmers
00:16:18.680 keep talking about. So that's, that's my take. Well, Lewis, I want to thank you for your time. You
00:16:25.240 and Lincoln have been doing a great job there. And I think what's so frustrating for me and I suspect
00:16:31.160 our audience is that farming is so fraught, uh, with difficulties as it is. I mean, you could end up
00:16:38.440 in a season where there's drought or the opposite might be the case flooding and the crop is wiped
00:16:43.560 out this attack on farming. It's not mother nature. It's the elected representatives of these farmers.
00:16:50.840 It is a disgrace and it's shameful and it's a complete self-inflicted wound. Let's hope this
00:16:57.560 has a happy ending in the, uh, days and weeks ahead. And, uh, we'll, uh, definitely keep our eye on
00:17:03.400 this. So thank you again, Lewis. No, thank you for having me on. It's, it's great to chat to you
00:17:09.080 again. And, um, I think I'm off to pop my new clogs on that I've been gifted. So looking forward to
00:17:15.880 that. It's, it's the old fashioned new age elevator shoes, I guess, but, uh, you know, I'm sure,
00:17:22.920 I'm sure you'll look resplendent. You know, thank you again, uh, Lewis, and you have a great weekend,
00:17:26.920 my friend. And that was Lewis Brackpool in the Netherlands. Keep it here, folks. More of Rebel
00:17:35.480 Roundup to come right after this.
00:17:40.520 Prime Minister, any, any, any, any answers? Any answers for disrupting the lives of so many Canadians
00:17:47.480 for the last 20 years. Prime Minister, any answers? Please answer the people of Canada.
00:17:53.880 The cat. Wow, that's very a coward. Oh, they are pushing the plan to hide Mr. Trudeau. They
00:18:05.320 are pushing the plans for it. Can you believe that? No, no, no, ne me touchez pas.
00:18:11.000 Ben, at this moment-là traversé. Je fais mon travail de journaliste, monsieur.
00:18:13.880 Je ne toucherai pas. Traversez l'autre côté. Sur quelles raisons? Celle que c'est un ordre.
00:18:17.880 Un ordre? La police vous donne un ordre, vous obéissez. Ça finira.
00:18:20.360 Écoutez, ne me poussez pas. Non, mais vous allez rentrer à travers ça l'autre côté.
00:18:23.960 So now, the police are giving me an order to cross the other side. Hey, vous n'avez pas le droit de me toucher, monsieur.
00:18:32.920 Je veux juste vous rappeler qu'on a déjà une poursuite contre la SPB. Votre nom, votre batte number.
00:18:38.040 Krakowski, c'est marqué là. 6084. Bye-bye.
00:18:40.040 So here, Alexa, for Reben News, and I'm currently in Montreal.
00:18:46.520 And tonight, we received a tip that Mr Trudeau was in Outremont for having a dinner with maybe
00:18:54.040 co-worker or friend. So we ran on the scene to see what is happening and what you can see behind me.
00:19:01.640 And the police is there, all around the restaurant. They have a lot of citizens who are asking questions.
00:19:08.120 I'm going to take the chance to ask as well my question to them. Let's check it out.
00:19:14.120 Mr Trudeau, est-ce que vous vous rappelez de moi? On s'est déjà parlé au combat des chefs.
00:19:20.600 J'espère que oui. Je m'intéressais à savoir, monsieur Trudeau, votre Avril Khan, est-ce que c'est en fait
00:19:27.080 la nouvelle version du Non-Digital Traveller Identity que vous avez signé avec le World Economic Forum en 2018, monsieur Trudeau?
00:19:35.080 Tamara Leach est une manifestante pacifique qui est en ce moment en prison parce qu'elle a juste pris un selfie avec un autre manifestant. Est-ce que vous trouvez ça normal ici au camp?
00:19:49.560 Oui.
00:19:50.560 Vous avez déjà rencontré d'autres événements. Tout ce que je vous demande, c'est que, un, c'est un événement privé. Deux, il y a d'autres clients du restaurant.
00:19:57.760 Je vous demanderais de respecter. Bon, mais je vais faire le moins fort, mais monsieur Trudeau aurait l'éligence peut-être de venir parler aux gens qui ont des questions pour lui.
00:20:05.740 C'est possible de respecter la quiétude des autres gens autour aussi.
00:20:09.600 Monsieur Trudeau, est-ce que vous supportez les nouvelles régulations au niveau de l'émission d'azote et de carbone que Marc Routet est en train d'implémenter en Hollande? Est-ce que vous supportez les régulations, monsieur Trudeau?
00:20:24.780 Ah, mais c'est le premier ministre qui se promène en jet. Qui se promène en jet.
00:20:29.400 On dérange le reste de nos clients. Si on peut juste me laisser travailler, ça sera difficile.
00:20:33.300 Alors, pourquoi ils ont pris une table à l'extérieur?
00:20:36.220 S'ils voulaient la privacité. Moi, je suis juste dans le trottoir.
00:20:40.400 Monsieur Trudeau, pourquoi vous n'écoutez pas une partie de votre peuple qui a des questions pour vous?
00:20:44.040 C'est certain, ça fait quand même pourquoi.
00:20:45.240 Est-ce que vous supportez les nouvelles régulations sur l'émission d'hydrogène et carbone que Marc Routet est en train de faire en Népée-Landie?
00:20:58.680 Monsieur Trudeau ne veut pas répondre à des questions.
00:21:01.780 Je t'ai essayé de poser des questions en français et en anglais juste pour voir si il s'est en train de répondre.
00:21:05.960 Monsieur Trudeau, quel autre accord avez-vous signé avec le World Economic Forum?
00:21:33.620 Monsieur Trudeau, je vais répéter encore une fois.
00:21:52.380 Tamara Leach, qui est une manifestante pacifique, est retenue en prison pour avoir pris un selfie avec un autre manifestant.
00:21:59.060 Est-ce que les libéraux ne soutiennent plus maintenant les libertés civiles?
00:22:03.640 Oui, c'est parti.
00:22:33.640 La première fois.
00:22:34.640 La première fois, c'est parti.
00:22:35.640 La première fois, c'est parti.
00:22:39.640 C'est parti.
00:22:40.000 Bonjour, Alexa.
00:22:41.260 Bonjour.
00:22:42.000 OK.
00:22:43.020 Well, Alexa, that was really something.
00:22:45.840 You heard about Justin Trudeau being at this open-air patio that was accessible, at least in an audio and visual way, from the sidewalk.
00:22:58.300 And I got to ask you the first question, given all the discourse regarding Prime Minister Trudeau, how in the world did he think it was a good idea to be, you know, seated somewhere where the public could access him?
00:23:17.180 Because it wasn't just you.
00:23:19.180 It seemed that everybody had an axe to grind that day.
00:23:23.060 Is he that delusional, Alexa?
00:23:25.900 Yeah.
00:23:26.200 So, this is the most incredible thing.
00:23:30.800 His seat was the one next to the street, OK?
00:23:35.020 And on the table, there were four.
00:23:37.200 But he took the most visible seat in the table.
00:23:41.200 So, for my part, and as well, I was looking at the security that was with him, probably RCMP, but they were not doing anything.
00:23:50.720 They were just standing on the side of the street and not even close from him.
00:23:54.560 So, if something happened to him, they were really far away.
00:24:00.620 They would not have been, like, possible to react to protect, like, Justin Trudeau.
00:24:04.820 So, probably because a lot of people came really close to Justin Trudeau, I think it's the owner of the restaurant who called the police, or I don't know, because it seems that the police wasn't there when I arrived.
00:24:20.820 They came afterwards, maybe, I would say, five to ten minutes after I came on the scene.
00:24:28.240 You know, that's very interesting, Alexa.
00:24:31.680 But regardless, here's the thing.
00:24:35.260 You were on a sidewalk, and, geez, I'm getting visions of deja vu, given what happened to me in Toronto in December.
00:24:44.380 Of course, it can ban you or anyone from the restaurant.
00:24:47.500 That's private property.
00:24:48.760 But you cannot be pushed away from a sidewalk.
00:24:54.140 That's public.
00:24:55.500 We still have, allegedly, a free press in Canada.
00:24:59.600 We're still, allegedly, a democracy.
00:25:02.420 What in the world were the Montreal police saying to you to justify pushing you off the sidewalk, getting a little handsy with you, which I did not like to see?
00:25:13.940 They were on thin ice, legally, as far as I can tell, Alexa.
00:25:17.860 Yeah, so, first of all, they say that it was a municipality rule, that you were not allowed to do nothing and just stand in the street.
00:25:28.260 You needed to be always in movement.
00:25:30.960 So, it's why I started to walk around.
00:25:34.500 And they say, no, you can go there.
00:25:36.000 You can go there.
00:25:36.800 I was like, yeah, but you just asked me to be in movement.
00:25:39.840 So, it's what I'm doing.
00:25:40.840 But, and they say, no, you cannot be here.
00:25:44.100 You need to go to the other side of the street.
00:25:46.040 This is a municipality rule.
00:25:48.180 And I was like, no, you have no rule in the municipality that say that I cannot be in the public space as a sidewalk.
00:25:54.180 And so, they try to use intimidation as, like, being really close to me and say, move.
00:26:00.740 And I was like, why are you doing that?
00:26:02.720 You will not intimidate me.
00:26:04.400 I'm here for doing my job.
00:26:05.800 I'm a reporter.
00:26:06.780 And you have no right to ask me to move from a public area because you decided of your side that it was a new rule that you created for that special event.
00:26:20.080 You know, I'd like to see that rule because I don't believe it.
00:26:23.720 The idea that you've got to walk and talk like you're in a penitentiary yard and it's exercise time and that's all you're allowed to do.
00:26:32.180 I mean, I bet you in Outremont there are panhandlers that are just standing there doing commerce, if you will.
00:26:38.620 So, I can't see why there's a stipulation banning the practice of journalism.
00:26:42.600 But in a way, Alex, I got to tell you, you got off lightly, I think, because I hearken back to my experience in 2019 in Montreal.
00:26:51.260 Justin Trudeau had it was an election campaign then.
00:26:55.040 And Justin Trudeau had a photo op arranged at a boxing gym where he was sparring with another boxer.
00:27:00.420 And when he was getting back on his bus behind a police wall, I was like on my tiptoes raising my cell phone to ask him questions.
00:27:10.000 And a member of the Montreal Police Service pushed me so hard.
00:27:14.380 I actually fell completely backwards.
00:27:18.000 My head bounced off the concrete sidewalk.
00:27:21.020 Trudeau's sparring partner, to his credit, came running out of the gym.
00:27:24.000 He witnessed it and he was very concerned.
00:27:26.420 He said, are you OK?
00:27:27.780 But what I'm getting at is this outrageous use of force.
00:27:31.840 They know who I am.
00:27:32.940 I have the rebel mic flash.
00:27:34.440 I don't have a weapon.
00:27:35.880 They know the prime minister is under no physical attack whatsoever, unless I guess we live in a country where impolite questions are considered physical assaults.
00:27:45.880 What do you make of how the Montreal Police are so heavy handed when it comes to cracking down on journalism, Alexa?
00:27:55.300 But I think it's not like cracking on journalism.
00:27:58.460 I think it's cracking on Reuben News because they don't attack CBC.
00:28:03.040 They don't attack like other like mainstream media from home.
00:28:06.240 It's just us.
00:28:07.000 Every time it's all about we don't want Reuben News to be around.
00:28:12.160 And we need to mention that it was not regular police that day.
00:28:18.840 It was the riot police.
00:28:21.160 So they are the one that was probably sent in Ottawa during the Freedom Convoy.
00:28:26.240 They are the one who are respecting the order that they receive out there.
00:28:33.840 And so they probably know that Reuben News is not legitimate.
00:28:40.060 But that is not true.
00:28:41.260 We are independent journalists.
00:28:42.820 We are not receiving like funding from the government.
00:28:45.540 And this is the most respectful way to do our job.
00:28:51.120 No, you're quite right.
00:28:52.240 And I remember more than a year ago, it was a Montreal police officer who accused us of being with, what was it, Jew Media or Jew News?
00:29:01.720 Something like that.
00:29:03.240 I mean, what the hell was that?
00:29:05.200 But, you know, getting back on track, I thought the questions you asked were excellent, Alexa.
00:29:11.300 Tamara Leach, our political prisoner, still behind bars, shockingly.
00:29:15.960 What's going on with the Netherlands?
00:29:18.860 Is this to come to Canada in terms of the war on nitrogen, the World Economic Forum agreements and so on and so forth?
00:29:27.540 And I thought the prime minister could have done himself a service by respectfully answering your questions.
00:29:35.200 Instead, as much as he likes to talk about sunny ways and his government being the most transparent in Canadian history, he just ignored you like you were some mosquito at that patio.
00:29:46.580 If you were in his shoes, Alexa, how would you have handled things?
00:29:54.080 First of all, I would probably ask you like to have maybe one person or two security and just go in the street and say, I'm going to talk with you.
00:30:03.020 And we would try to discuss or we would try to talk.
00:30:05.760 Most of the people who were there that day was, I would say, 85 percent children.
00:30:14.880 That was not a threat in the street.
00:30:17.120 Most of them was just normal people who wanted some answer.
00:30:21.660 Like that woman who see her basket at the grocery increasing and seeing her mother not be able to buy the stuff that she used to do because the inflation is there.
00:30:35.960 When we saw that Mr. Trudeau is eating a really nice meal with wine and just like mocking of all the Canadians who now cannot afford to buy all the food that they want or the gas that they need.
00:30:51.720 And so it's what I find that the most outrageous is like he doesn't care is eating his meal when he is like putting like, I don't know how many million, I think 8.5 million in the company for cricket farm, probably like for what now introducing cricket as a protein for a dead citizen during the time that is eating like nice meal and not private himself from like what climate change.
00:31:21.720 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but it's the perfect example of a law for me or a rule for me and a rule for thee.
00:31:30.960 No, you're quite right about that, Alexa.
00:31:33.160 And it's just more of the same going back to last year when you were at the leadership debate, which we needed another federal court order to get into.
00:31:42.480 And he completely snubbed you and our audience and Canadians in general by saying, well, by copying one of his boyfriend's tactics, Jagmeet Singh, which is I don't take questions from Rebel News.
00:31:55.360 Absolute cowardice.
00:31:56.440 But we'll end up with this.
00:31:57.820 I think at the end of the day, Alexa, even if this wasn't your intention, you humiliated this man.
00:32:07.620 He's used to being lavished with praise and going to very controlled photo ops.
00:32:15.460 And yet here was you, a reporter not on the federal government dime.
00:32:21.800 Here were some citizens who had an axe to grind with him.
00:32:25.780 You asked these impolite questions over and over as he was trying to eat.
00:32:30.520 I'm sure he was steaming.
00:32:33.280 I did the same last September at a election stopover in Richmond Hill when he went to campaign at a food truck event.
00:32:42.980 I also asked prickly questions.
00:32:45.680 Of course, I think I paid a price for that in December when his Royal Canadian henchman beat me up for staying on a sidewalk to Scrumham.
00:32:53.680 At the end of the day, I think that's a victory for you.
00:32:59.300 When it comes to seeing Justin Trudeau in the future, are you going to change your ways, Alexa, or are you going to continue to get at him with these questions that the likes of Rosemary Barton and company at the CBC would never dare ask?
00:33:16.760 I will continue to make him answering the question that the population wants to hear.
00:33:25.760 And I will tell you, he will know my name soon.
00:33:30.120 There you go.
00:33:31.460 Okay.
00:33:32.060 Well, Alexa, like I said, you didn't get answers to your question.
00:33:37.380 Your questions, rather.
00:33:39.180 That was the bad news.
00:33:40.140 The good news is you weren't beaten up.
00:33:41.720 So, wear that as a badge of honor.
00:33:45.700 Thank you so much, my friend.
00:33:46.920 And you have a great weekend.
00:33:48.720 Thank you.
00:33:49.220 You too.
00:33:50.160 Thank you.
00:33:50.860 And that was Alexa Lavoie in Montreal.
00:33:53.760 Keep it here, folks.
00:33:55.000 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:34:00.400 Hey, folks.
00:34:01.580 Check out the newest arrival to the Rebel News Store.
00:34:05.340 Yes.
00:34:06.180 F is for Fidel.
00:34:07.940 And F is for Father.
00:34:10.180 I mean, could it be?
00:34:12.380 Yes.
00:34:12.820 Half this photo, the colored half, is Justin Trudeau.
00:34:16.760 The black and white half is a young Fidel Castro.
00:34:20.980 Wait, no.
00:34:21.680 Or is it vice versa?
00:34:22.940 It's so confusing.
00:34:24.380 I'm a huge Forensic Files fan.
00:34:27.340 Wouldn't it be great if we could have a piece of Justin's DNA and a piece of Fidel's DNA and put the rumor to bed once and for all?
00:34:36.640 But in the meantime, we'll just have to walk around wearing this shirt hinting at a great Canadian conspiracy.
00:34:46.020 Or is it?
00:34:47.080 In any event, if you want to get this shirt, folks, go to the Rebel News Store and check this out.
00:34:55.860 Type in our new discount code.
00:34:57.980 That's SUMMER.
00:34:59.180 S-U-M-M-E-R.
00:35:01.220 And if you buy two unisex T-shirts, you get an additional one for free.
00:35:08.020 What a deal.
00:35:08.760 So, like I said, Justin Trudeau, Adele Castro, as they used to say on the ABC Detergent ads, do you tell the difference?
00:35:18.920 I can't tell the difference.
00:35:20.640 Wow.
00:35:21.320 Last time I checked, folks, that advertisement had some 20,000 views.
00:35:26.580 And these shirts are indeed top sellers.
00:35:30.040 So if you want one, please don't delay putting in your order.
00:35:33.840 As for the comments, well, you know, one of the reasons I love our audience is that many of you are so savagely funny with your comments,
00:35:43.180 especially when it comes to weighing in on the right honourable Justin Trudeau.
00:35:49.480 Watching trains go by, writes, if you are going to buy one, get it quick before the lawsuit and injunction, LOL.
00:35:57.960 Hey, my friend, your advice is not all that far-fetched.
00:36:00.900 Perhaps the Trudeau Liberals are all about censoring the internet with various bills they want to enact as laws in the months ahead.
00:36:09.240 I wouldn't put it past, Justin, to have a new law regarding a dress code for Canadians, namely,
00:36:16.820 thou shalt not mock a Liberal Prime Minister.
00:36:20.180 After all, on Dominion Day weekend, F-Trudeau flags were actually banned from Parliament Hill.
00:36:25.720 Well, like Fidel, our Justin is a huge fan of censorship.
00:36:32.000 A Redneck's Life writes,
00:36:34.160 I like that one, David.
00:36:35.240 I have some Liberals in my area and they absolutely love Justin Trudeau.
00:36:40.120 And wearing this shirt by them would be good.
00:36:43.780 Hey, Mr. Redneck, please write back and let me know what neighbourhood you live in.
00:36:48.200 And I'd love to meet people who are still Justin Trudeau supporters.
00:36:53.360 And I just want to ask them one question.
00:36:55.640 What has been Justin's greatest accomplishment in these past seven years?
00:37:00.840 Typically, they are shocked into silence by that query.
00:37:05.640 Albert Corbeil writes,
00:37:07.420 Good job on reporting on Brown.
00:37:09.360 The Conservatives are right to oust him.
00:37:11.740 I love the t-shirt.
00:37:12.840 Well, you know what, Albert?
00:37:15.280 Maybe we need a Patrick Brown t-shirt as well.
00:37:18.920 Hmm, what image could we put on that?
00:37:22.120 Maybe Pinocchio's elongated nose?
00:37:25.220 Perhaps a pair of smoldering slacks?
00:37:28.720 Maybe a voice bubble emerging from Sneaky Patrick saying,
00:37:32.860 Trust me.
00:37:34.140 Oh, what an embarrassment of riches when it comes to mocking that lying liar.
00:37:40.720 Sharon MacDonald writes,
00:37:42.840 I know I would never put a picture of that creature on my body.
00:37:48.800 You know, I feel your pain, Sharon, but consider this.
00:37:52.240 Think of the pain Justin would endure seeing this shirt on your body.
00:37:56.280 I mean, talk about a trigger.
00:37:58.940 And Scotty writes,
00:38:00.660 Someone get on the phone to Cuba
00:38:02.880 and get one of Justin's drink box water bottle sort of things
00:38:07.740 when he discards it.
00:38:09.360 There's a crowdfunding campaign if ever there was one.
00:38:13.460 I'm getting some of those shirts.
00:38:15.880 I'm already a huge collector.
00:38:18.040 Nice work, guys.
00:38:19.440 Well, thank you so much, Scotty.
00:38:22.180 But just a word of caution.
00:38:24.060 I wouldn't wear this particular shirt if you are indeed Cuba bound.
00:38:28.620 The authorities down there might not like any sort of haberdashery
00:38:33.080 that raises questions about the not-so-dearly-departed Fidel Castro.
00:38:38.580 Say, do you think that Cuba, like China,
00:38:41.620 is one of those basic dictatorships that Justin Trudeau has admiration for?
00:38:47.500 Yes, that was a rhetorical question, folks.
00:38:51.480 Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.
00:38:54.460 Thank you so much for joining us.
00:38:56.520 See you next week.
00:38:57.780 And hey, folks, never forget,
00:38:59.480 without risk, there can be no glory.
00:39:01.940 Good night.
00:39:17.500 Good night.
00:39:32.280 Good night.
